Radio 4 Profile: George Papandreou

Advertisement

Jonathan Maitland profiles the Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou - the man whose job it is to steer his country through its economic crisis. He comes from a long political dynasty - both his father and grandfather were prime ministers.

George Papandreou Jr has led an eventful life - as a teenager he had a gun pointed to his head during an army coup. But is he tough enough to deal with his country's vast public debts?

BBC Radio 4's Profile of George Papandreou was originally broadcast on Saturday, 20 January 2010 at 1900 GMT.
